# First Steps

## First Steps

Welcome to ZenFights! This guide will help you get your server running with our plugin.

### Prerequisites

* **Java Version**: Ensure your server is running Java 21 (for MC 1.21.x) or Java 25 (for MC 26.1.x).
* **Server Type**: Supported on Paper, Purpur, Spigot, and Bukkit.

### Installation

1. Download the latest `.jar` file from the [Releases page](https://github.com/Stralex0x/ZenFights/releases).
2. Stop your server.
3. Drop the `ZenFights.jar` into your `/plugins/` directory.
4. Start your server. The plugin will automatically generate the default configuration files.

### Updating

To update, simply replace the old `.jar` file in the `/plugins/` folder with the new version and restart your server. Config files will update automatically, but please check the release notes for breaking changes.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://zen-10.gitbook.io/zen-studios/zen-fights/first-steps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
